Comment from the Coach
|
Team,
After a rusty start, we emerged with a hard fought 3-3 draw today which
whilst we had opportunities to win, was probably a fair result.
I spoke to the Roundshaw Manager at length before the game and he confirmed
they had basically re-built their side from a couple of weeks prior to our
Cup game. They are now a good side as their recent results testify - which
places today's good result in perspective bearing in mind we lost the cup
game.
It took us a good 20-30m to start finding our rhythm and once we did, our
game started to flow. We had several good opportunities before James
slotted a long range shot. Tom pounced on a free ball from a well
placed corner to score followed by Gareth with a quality header -
again from a corner play. Pleasing to see a bit more opportunity taking
coming from the corners guys.
However, we showed the classic signs of not having played for a month - our
talking was minimal, we were a bit slow to release the ball at times and
defensively, we left some large gaps as our co-ordination slipped. But these
aspects will come good as we re-build match fitness.
Francesco kept his remarkable penalty defence record in place after a
rather dubious penalty decision went against us - great effort Fran!
Man-of-the-match today was
Jack E - another solid and convincing
display showing good vision and calmness under pressure.
